Problem solved. Though at this point I have no idea exactly what solved it! A number of things came up as was routing through this thing. Truth be told, I had never turned this pedal on after I bought it. So I don't even know if it worked in the first place. 1) One of the legs of the C1M pot...

That red wire was for the 9v battery. I removed that. I think I found one issue. Tracing the output of the 4558 I find a small cut in the Trace between R21 and R1. No continuity. But if I jumped them together now I get bypass signal and signal with power. However, no chorus effect. Oddly...

There’s only 2.7v on pin 8 of the JRC4558. Maybe it’s bad?

Yes but I switched the wiring too. So it should work, no?

Hello! I have an EHX Small Clone that I am switching out the old positive tip 2.1mm jack for a negative tip Boss style PSA jack. I did the switch and the pedal will power up but I'm getting no signal. The pedal works in bypass mode with or without power plugged in. But, when I engage the...

I love this thing! When I have it working it sounds fantastic. Really cool tones. Fabu work by PedalPCB. I think I’m insulating them well. I have a piece of doubles over black electrical tape under each pot. I can try something else. I’m not tightening things down too much as far as I know. I...

Unsolved! I boxed it back up and poof the vibrato channel dies again. There is an appreciable volume cut overall to the chorus channel too. I’m absolutely flummoxed how this thing works beautifully out of the box, but as soon as I box it back up then it craps put. 🤨🧐

We’ll I’ll have to shelve plans because the pedal is dead again. Time to resurrect Electrovibe Deadish part Trois again. 🧐

Howdy! I was wondering if it would be possible to install a standby switch on the Electrovibe? The purpose would be to save the bulb from burning out of the pedal is plugged in all the time. My thought is similar to an amp with standby, it’ll have 9V supplied to it all the time, but when it’s...

I think so? I sprayed it with contact cleaner. Is there a better way?

No idea but I took it apart again and touched up a few solder blobs and did some more testing and it works fine again. So weird.

I did originally but they were defective or something went wrong. I most likely damaged them.

I love this audio probe thing! I sort of figured out how to use it but I'm not certain I know the best way to use it. I marked up some observations. I tried measuring the LEDRs and two of them were nice and loud but the others were weak. I may not have marked them 100%. I checked out the...

Hello fine friends! Well I don't know what the heck is up now. I had the pedal working great, I boxed it up and even posted a build report. Then all of a sudden it just went to crap. The only mods I've done is to replace R4 with a 2M2 implemented with some sockets. What I have now is signal in...

I added the sockets after boxing and after it was demonstrated to have sweet sounds. Once I socketed in the 2M2 then chorus went bye-bye. I like the idea of gain and offset on the outside. That's an interesting tweak! I know this isn't a big problem, signal loss, so I'll get it figured out...
